Public and private sectors monitor the outcome of potential cuts
at a time where the United States faces significant healthcare
challenges. In hisOctober 12th
testimony, Howard Koh, M.D., M.P.H., assistant secretary for health at U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services, said "The Affordable Care
Act and, especially, the Prevention and Public Health Fund, is helping us make
significant progress in our efforts to transition our nation’s health care
system away from being a sick care system."

No matter which side of the aisle you are on, the workWellness Corporate Solutions, our
clients, and others in the industry are doing to promote wellness, has never
been more important. The
CDC estimates that heart disease, cancer, stroke, and diabetes are responsible
for 7 of 10 deaths among Americans each year and treatment for people with
chronic conditions accounts for more than 75 percent of the more than $2.5
trillion spent on annual U.S. medical care costs.

The statistics are compelling; prevention is critical. If you are looking for a call to action for your company, yourself,
or your family, this is a rather loud one!
